Since all these rules and superstitions are outdated, what's wrong with me indulging in some me

[Exam Rule 2: If you see "Fourth Teaching Building" mentioned in an exam question, please raise your hand immediately to report it.]

The burly man immediately perked up, saying, "How could there be no hints at all? It seems that China's passage through the border this time will depend on him."

Thinking of this, the burly man quickly raised his hand.

"Teacher, the last question mentioned the fourth teaching building."

Wow, see that? That's the real clue!

[Yeah, those two outside the classroom are just loitering around aimlessly; they're probably going to get themselves killed soon.]

[This burly guy seems more reliable; he'll probably get a clue from the proctor soon.]

"Oh?" The proctor slowly walked over, his small pupils suddenly contracting rapidly, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch strangely. The burly man, however, was completely immersed in the joy of discovering a clue and did not notice anything amiss.

What was the last question?

The proctor's voice was low, like a demon summoning a lost lamb.

"I walked 500 meters to the left, then turned right and entered the fourth teaching building..."

The burly man loudly repeated the question word for word.

The female teacher paused for two seconds, then asked softly:

"You went into the fourth teaching building?"

The burly man nodded.

That's what the title says.

"very good."

The proctor stuck out his scarlet tongue, licked his lips, and his voice suddenly became hoarse.

The next second, her right hand suddenly stretched out, her five fingers turning into sharp claws, and pierced the strong man's heart.

There were no screams, no wails.

The burly man felt as if his blood and soul had been drained. His body convulsed, and within seconds his entire body disintegrated, turning into a wisp of ashes.

"Thud—"

Only a slightly stretched and deformed school uniform remained lying on the ground, the chains making a crisp sound as they touched the ground.

[Player Zhang Li violated the rules and is eliminated! China's points -1]

"Anyone who's been to the fourth teaching building must die..."

The proctor let out a strange laugh, and the fleshy bud on his right arm suddenly grew into an entire arm, making his terrifying aura even more solid.

The NPC students in the examination room never looked up; they simply gripped their pens even tighter.

[Oh my god! No, this is a trap! Rule 2 is wrong, a huge trap!]

[Something feels off. This dungeon isn't beginner level at all; it's practically a C-rank dungeon!]

Is this some kind of scam? Is going to the toilet really the only way to survive?

[Holy crap, look at the proctor's arms! Three arms?! Horrifying!]

Inside the examination room, the remaining short-haired girl sat there for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand as if she had made up her mind.

"Teacher, I need to go to the restroom."

"No, you have to answer the questions seriously when you're doing a hair curling test."

The proctor unexpectedly refused.

The short-haired girl was stunned, not expecting her teacher to change so drastically. But she didn't give up. Instead, she gritted her teeth and used her newbie buff for the first time.

"Teacher, I really need to go to the toilet."

[Ding! Player Zhang Zhuyu has activated a buff, increasing the success rate of persuading dungeon characters to 60%.]

60% is a probability that is neither high nor low.

Zhang Zhuyu didn't know what was in the toilet, but her sixth sense told her that staying in the exam room would not lead to any way out.

[Ding! Persuasion successful!]

Upon hearing the notification sound, Zhang Zhuyu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright."

The proctor stiffened abruptly, his gaze towards the girl turning hostile, but he finally nodded reluctantly.

Which classmate was with her?

Zhang Zhuyu's gaze fell on the boy wearing glasses in the middle of the examination room.

The tall, thin boy with glasses was stunned, completely unexpected that things would develop in this direction. But he only froze for a second before he started shaking his head frantically at Zhang Zhuyu.

Zhang Zhuyu had no choice but to point randomly to a petite-looking female NPC in front of her, and under the invigilator's unfriendly gaze, she hurriedly walked out of the classroom with the NPC.

"Let's go, turn right."

As soon as Zhang Zhuyu entered the corridor, she saw a green restroom sign on the wall, pointing to the right side of the corridor.

She walked cautiously behind the female NPC, keeping a safe distance, unaware that the "student" who had been walking ahead with a stiff expression had a strange smile on her face.

Lu Changsheng and his companion walked down the corridor to the left for about two or three minutes and actually found a restroom.

"It's...it's really here."

When Cheng Caijun saw the restroom, he was a little dumbfounded. He had come here with the idea of ​​dying together with everyone else, but he didn't expect that Lu Changsheng would actually be right.

Lu Changsheng didn't say anything, but instead lifted the bathroom curtain first.

The moment the curtain was lifted, a pungent smell of disinfectant and decay hit them. Cheng Caijun followed and immediately gagged upon smelling the odor.

The bathroom was even darker than the hallway, with only a small lamp hanging in the center of the ceiling, emitting a buzzing sound. By the dim light, the two could make out the image on the wall—

The walls were covered in red, blood-written words.

It wasn't childish graffiti, but some kind of dark red, viscous liquid, densely and layered, covering every inch of the bathroom walls and partitions.

"Li Hong... Zhao Qiang... Zhang Wei..."

Cheng Caijun struggled to make out a few names, his hands trembling.

"Who...who are all these people?"

The live stream chat exploded immediately.

[I'm wiping, I'm wiping, I'm wiping! Mom, Mom, my trypophobia and claustrophobia need to be relieved immediately!!!]

[No, the toilet really is here! Could Lu Changsheng really know something?]

[Hahaha, netizens misjudged him, didn't they? What did I say? This Lu Changsheng might really be a genius.]

[Damn it, the toilet really is on the left side of the corridor. What about Zhang Zhuyu?]

At this moment, Lu Changsheng and Cheng Caijun were looking up at the ceiling of the toilet. There, too, were scarlet words, but unlike the others, these words were not names, but a complete sentence.

"Never trust shadows."

It was a complete sentence, but for some reason, a "not" was added before the word "want," instantly changing the meaning of the whole sentence.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng keenly noticed that the font color of this sentence was even more vibrant, as if someone had just written it.

"Is this a message?" Cheng Caijun saw it too, and he asked hesitantly, "Can we believe this?"

"have no idea."

Lu Changsheng also had a headache. The narrow toilet had no windows and was completely enclosed. The strong smell of blood kept attacking his respiratory system, making his temples throb.

Lu Changsheng took off his school uniform jacket, tied it around his neck to cover his mouth and nose, and pinched his nose tightly with his right hand.

"Chengcai, what's your newbie buff?"

"My buff is three copper coins, which has a chance to bribe the monsters in the dungeon."

Cheng Caijun reached into his pocket and pulled out three yellowish copper coins.

"Okay! Can I borrow it?"

Lu Changsheng picked up the copper coin and tossed it into the air.
